Bolsonaro ran on the promise to rid Brazil leftist criminals. They demonized Dilma Rousseff and the rest of the parties fell to suspicion.

Dilma Rousseff lead "Worker's Party" and the Democratic Labour Party. These parties have been leading Brazil to prosperity and freedom since 1980. It is astounding the fall of their influence in the country and it began with the demonization of President Rousseff.

If she carried out reasons to impeach her, that is understandable, but, for entire parties to lose their standing in a democracy is highly worrisome.

Just for the record Bolaonaro recognizes Israel. I find that curious.

Sao Paulo — Far-right congressman Jair Bolsonaro (click here) has won Brazil’s elections, taking an unassailable lead Sunday in the race for the South American nation’s presidency, as voters apparently looked past warnings that the brash former army captain would erode democracy and embraced a chance for radical change after years of turmoil.

With more than 92 percent of the votes counted, 55.6 percent supported Bolsonaro, compared to 44.4 percent for leftist Fernando Haddad of the Workers’ Party, according to the Supreme Electoral Tribunal. Final results were expected later Sunday.

After the results were announced supporters flooded the streets outside Bolsonaro’s home in Rio de Janeiro, letting off fireworks and waving Brazilian flags....

Does the description below sound familiar? Brazil has been the largest democracy in Brazil. I believe this movement to the right began after the impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff. Bannon is another Manafort. He is working in foreign governments to elect right wing candidates.

...Bolsonaro, who cast himself as a political outsider despite a 27-year career in Congress, is the latest of several leaders around the globe to gain prominence by mixing tough, often violent talk with hard-right positions. But he is also very much a product of a perfect storm in Brazil that made his messages less marginalized: widespread anger at the political class amid years of corruption, an economy that has struggled to recover after a punishing recession and a surge in violence....

The opposition to Bolsonaro, albeit nearly invisible to the people, state he will instill fasism. If country after country globally are falling into the same pattern there has to be a common reason. Russia probably is exposing people to hatred of each other in these movements, however, Bannon has been a frequent visitor in these elections. Bannon is a hate monger. It is easy for him to be successful where Russia has laid the foundation.
